As a 20+ year audiophile (aka: professional sound nerd), I’m not here to give you the usual BS. My audio system is worth over $10K, so yeah, I’m serious about my sound. And let me tell you, these speaker cables? They're a SERIOUSLY GOOD upgrade. The sound improvement is legit: more detail, but without making your ears beg for mercy. I van assure you I am very sensitive to high frequency and any distortion. You get top-notch clarity, pinpoint imaging, and the kind of center focus most other cables only dream of.Now, let's be real—if you’re looking for the absolute pinnacle of cable awesomeness, you’re looking at something like the Nordost Blue Heaven, but those are going to cost you $1K for a pair. I’ve tested my way through plenty of other cables under that price point (yes, including Cardas), and guess what? Nothing else comes close to these.If your speakers are in the $1K–$5K range, do not hesitate—grab these cables. You’ll thank yourself later. Shout out to Canare and Blue Jeans for this masterpiece. It’s an absolute no-brainer.

I have used Blue Jean cables for years and have already been impressed with the quality of the cable until today. To my surprise when I tried hooking up my speakers I noticed that the banana plug would not lock. When I tried to hook up the second set (bi wire), the cable literally fell off. It doesn't appear that these cables were welded to the connector. As a result I will be sending these back to Amazon as I do not trust this brand any longer :(

I’m what you might call a retired audiophile. At this point I long ago gave up the chase for audio nirvana, got too expensive, high end audio more audio art than substance and my ears just aren’t what they used to be so what’s the point! If you want to believe in the science or alchemy of high end audio cable as I might have done at one time, power to you. I’m not sure if audiophile cables get you much better sound or just different equalized sound. What I do know is that these Blue Jeans cables are heavy duty and very well terminated, I love the locking banana plugs. Sound good to my ok ears and a very fair price for the money. I’m happy. Regards. Ned.

I’ve bought cables in the past from Blue Jeans Cable and you get a decent cable for the money, no doubt. But I’ve ordered two 20 foot bi wired Canare cables from Amazon and I had to return one because one of the speaker RCAs has lost its soldered joint. I ordered a new cable to replace my return but I’m not sure how it’s going to hold up. The second cable from my first order has now lost a solder joint on one of the speaker leads. So either I send them back or I’m going to have to use my own banana plugs that I ordered from Amazon more than 3 years ago. This is disappointing on a $100 cable, those RCAs should be on there good and tight, to replace them so soon is to me, money not well spent. UPDATE, I contacted BJC myself and once I relayed my experience, I was told they personally would send me two replacement cables. Maybe the soldering issues were an anomaly, who knows? As soon as I get the new cables I’ll let everyone know but for this alone, BJC deserves a perfect score. I received the replacement cables from BJC and the ultrasonic welding on these cables seem to be much better. They were shipped to me from their main office in Washington, the guys at BJC (especially Jeff) stand behind their product. I believe the pricing is about the same, I’d order directly from BJC if it weren’t that I had some Amazon reward points.

My first order from Blue Jeans Cable (BJC) and I'm sold. Well made, sound great and more affordable than high end audiophile luxury cables. I needed some good quality cables with spades on the amp side and bi-wire banana terminations to connect them to some vintage EPOS ES11 speakers. The EPOS only take bananas and the hole is rather small so I ordered the BJC Canare 4S11 cables with locking bananas. The key to getting these to lock is to insert the banana fully then hold the knurled base of the termination (see where the pencil is pointing in my photo) with one hand while turning the top knurled collar near bananas clockwise with your other hand. This pushes a tab in that expands the banana and locks it in while it's fully seated. Do the reverse when removing. I mention this b/c of reviews where guys said the bananas would fall out, that's b/c they didn't know how to tighten the locking mechanism.

I bought these cables to try bi-wiring my speakers. I replaced entry level Cardas Crosslink speaker cables that were not bi-wired. There is a definite benefit to the bass that is deeper and better controlled. The highs and mid range benefit from a clearer signal not affected by the bass speaker. I am not sure how it compares to other bi-wired speaker cables so I think a lot of the benefit I am hearing is from the physical bi-wiring of the speakers. I am not sure how much of the actual cable and the ultrasonic welding help with the sound improvement. The cable and welding certainly do not seem to cause any negative colouring. There are bi-wired cable for less and certain many more that are more expensive. If you feel the price of these cables are reasonable then I would recommend them. If they are too expensive then definitely try any bi-wire cables you think are reasonably priced.

I’ve tried many ‘ high end’ speaker cables over the years, some costing considerably more than these. None of them sounded better and most were inferior build quality. The locking connectors on the Blue Jeans are of excellent quality, this was important to me since I’m continually changing speakers and amplification. Standard banana plugs tend to lose their tension if you’re unplugging them on a regular basis. If you’re looking for high quality speaker cables at a reasonable price buy the Blue Jeans!

Excellent build quality & reasonable price, connect to lcr6 s2 centre speaker, sound clarity & bass improves compare to my old monster cable. Ordered another 2 set for front & rear speakers & LC-1 interconnect to amp from Blue Jeans Seattle. Highly recommend AAA quality !!

I have to say I was a little skeptical of buying speaker cables for this price however I got to say it's such a beautiful looking cable really well-constructed the banana plugs everything really strong such a nice great cable nothing cheap about it!however I didn't really listen to it very long maybe about 40 minutes compared to the other cables I had before and those cables were the silverback speaker cables that you can buy on here as well start a lot cheaper do I notice a difference in sound quality no not really over the silverbacks however with the silverbacks I've had it happen to me five times where the tip of the banana plugs would snap off and it would just be ridiculous it's a very cheaply made banana plug on those cables and if I had to compare which one looks better which one is heavier and which one is more well-constructed with better banana plugs I would say the blue jeans cables here are definitely better. But in sound quality the same! but I wouldn't buy these tables over the silver back thinking they will sound a lot better! But great product!I also like that they're welded cables to the plugs here!!

Well constructed, custom lengths and components if ordered directly from BJC's site. Name brand, high quality components. I especially like the connectors. If you want to try bi-wiring, I can't think of a better company than Blue Jeans Cable.I looked at a lot of bi-wire cables from a number of companies before buying these. Some are 'prettier' and also use the Canare 4S11 wire I was looking for but in the end, it was the published specs and ultrasonically welded (not soldered) connections and expandable/locking banana plugs that sold me.All things considered, this and other BJC products are likely to result in long term reliability and best possible performance. I'd also *highly* recommend their video cables especially for the sometimes problematic world of custom PC's used for video editing, gaming and 4k video playback.The connector collars can be unscrewed and lowered which completely exposes the welded connections. You can see for yourself how the wire is welded to the connector. This will also make cleaning quick and easy.For more configuration options, check out BJC's website. If you have a specific need (custom lengths, connector options, etc.), chances are they'll be able to provide.This is a company that seems to have engineers on staff or is otherwise heavily influenced by engineers, not marketers. This is a good thing for the customer. Their customer service is second to none in my experience. I've emailed several times and always received solid information and guidance. Some of their cables even come with certs.Their website is worth browsing if only to take advantage of the information they provide. It's an educational resource I'd recommend to everyone but especially for those that are new to the world of audio/ video hardware and ready to spend.Side note: focus on measured specs when reading reviews of all audio products, not just interconnects. When reviews contain a lot of superlatives, this is a red flag. Further, when reading subjective reviews of audio recordings and the hardware used to listen to audio, read very skeptically. If the writer is a middle aged man, it may be that he can't hear much beyond about 10kHz. Men tend to lose their ability to hear high frequencies from a fairly young age. The ~20Hz to ~20kHz range most of us are born with doesn't last long. The 'sparkling highs' a reviewer mentions may mean up to ~8kHz given that this is the limit of what he can hear. Tinnitus can get in the way too, a very common and maddening affliction.Examples of listening experience superlatives for audio products are below. These were pulled from a quick google search. All red flags. Use caution when exploring the audiophile world.
